Blumhouse’s Spawn Reboot Is Now Called King Spawn

Given the timing of the announcement, it's highly possible that we'll get more news about the project during SDCC. This may include the first cast announcement, which is expected to include "multiple A-list people" as said by McFarlane in an interview with Comicbook. 

While Jamie Foxx was attached to star in the reboot in 2018, it's possible that those plans may have changed. After all, the film has undergone several changes, most notably influenced by the release of Todd Phillip's Joker, which itself is getting a sequel this year. McFarlane himself was set to direct the film all those years back, though it's unclear if that's still the plan now.

As for what kind of movie we can expect, McFarlane said that it would be "between [The Boys and a traditional horror movie]."

Blumhouse will host two screenings of its upcoming film Speak No Evil during SDCC 2024. We just have to wait for more announcements about King Spawn during the panel. 

Here is the synopsis for the 2021 King Spawn comic book run:

When one of the vilest creatures ever imprisoned in Hell is released back onto Earth, Spawn follows the clues right into a trap set just for him. But why does Kincaid want Spawn to ascend the throne of Hell, and what of the prophecy of the KING SPAWN?

King Spawn is expected to be released in theaters sometime in 2025.
